Y This yinventionV relates to bath cabinet structures to bev setA in place for forming a V"cabinet chamber in connection WithshowerV bath fixtures.

vThe principal objecty of the present jinv vvention is the provision; of a struct ire 'of the` indicated character which may be read* ily set in place to .formk a cabinet chamber in conjunction with shower 4bathiiidtures so that a person niayhave ingress to and egress from the cabinet chamberformed, the structure serving also' asy a screen' and preventthrough "thev structure itself with the slid-' l "ing doors in open position. i

ing Water from splashing beyond certain limits While the ablutions are being perf formed by a person. i 4 l Withf the foregoing and other objects in View, the invention resides in `theparticular provision, construction and functions of the parts hereinafter fully described and illus trated in the' acco vvhich-l Y Figure l1 is afperspective vieWof the cabinet structure yeinbodying the presentinvention. 1 Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view tali-V en on Vthe line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and showing the structure set in place in a Acorner ofa bathroom Vto combine With the adjoining Walls to form a cabinet' chamber.V

V Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View taken on the-line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional View Referring ,now more particularly to the y several views ofthe drawing, and especial vly with reference to Fig. 2 it Willbe appar# ent that thel cabinet structure 10 in its entirety Will be'setin place in a corner ofa bathroom' to combine with adjoining Walls such asthe-Walls 11 to form a cabinet chamber 12 WhichU will include a floor portion 13l of the bathroom having adrain 15. Although not shownit isto be understood that the` chamber 12 Willv be formedl directly beneath the shower bath xtures for the usual purposes.' The Y structure `10,`genera1ly stated, consists oftWo sections 16 of similar construction disposed substantially at a right angle with respect .to each other. V'llhe sections 16 are' formed 'by providing a top plate 17 of angulary construction,y and Aa bottom plate 18 similar'in constructionitothe top 'f plate 17, except lthat the bottom -plate is providedvvvith Vfeet 19.V The plates- 17 and- 18 being 'of langular construction 1 provide Q an ino dravvin s inv c a a 192s. serial Nq.

eachpair ofthe guides is apanel door 25 which isysubstantially similar in appearance i and construction to thepanel frames'21, and

Veach door therefore includes -a frame 26 having a glass,v panel 27 either translucent` or vtransparent to match the panels 22. vThere will. be one door associated -Withleach sec-j Y door will be supportedfor sliding movement with respect-:tof its related .panel frame 21 so that va person may have ing'fress to the non i6 and as panel frame 2i, andthe said cabinet chamber 12 oraegress from the sanie Y vthrough either of the openingsin thevsection Y16 Ycontrolled by the doors 25.. One of the doors 25l is'provided With a channel 28 onv one edge thereof, and one edge ofthe i' Vother door 25 fits in the space or recess pre- Y y `sentedby Vthechannel28f as shown V`most 'clearlyin Fig; '2, thus making it'necessary to moveone 'door 25 beforel the Vother canv be moved.- Under this construction and ar-l rangement a closed connection Will be formed when the doors arey brought together. The rollers 24 eliminate unnecessary friction and moved to openedv and closedpositions.
